How to measure for your Cabinets

 

Assuming it's not new construction or a renovation with a floor plan the first step in kitchen layout is measuring your kitchen to the 1/16th inch (Preferably all dimensions in INCHES not FEET and INCHES). You’ll need to make a sketch of the room using the downloadable graph paper counting each small square as 3 inches.  The graph paper is not to scale so just get to the closest 3 inch square.  This shows primarily the room shape and the accurate dimensions you add would then be transferred to our software.
